And Mugatu is right, I want to work in SF after I graduate, and I have looked over the rolls of attorneys at the top firms in this area. And what you will see is (especially at firms that focus on IP)... BOALT, BOALT, BOALT !

Which also contradicts what another poster said, that UCLA places better in N. Cal. than Boalt. YEAH, RIGHT! That entire post should be disregarded on the basis of that error.

At the IP law firms websites search for schools, and compare which schools are better represented. If the primary consideration is to get a high paying IP job, take the USNEWS rankings with a grain of salt, since it factors in a lot of extraneous variables (number of urinals, professor citations, actually I'm making these up, but you get the point).

I'd take Boalt. I think the shock and disbelief that someone would pick Boalt or Stanford over Yale is felt most acutely by those with prestige whore tendencies who feel extra chuffed because they happended to get into Yale. I'm not knocking Yale at all, just knocking obnoxious self-promoters.

Um... if that's directing at me, it's a feminine hygiene product-y thing to say. You may change your mind about the IP thing, you may want to go into IP in academia, etc. etc. Yale keeps all the doors open. This has nothing to do with me. I have had no interest in Boalt from the beginning.
